Talk:Electoral reform

Electoral Reform Act of 2015

Consider looking into this. It started as findings from Occupy working group on electoral reform in 2011, morphed into an 11 point proposal based on information harvested from a wide number of stakeholders as shown at http://bigbatusa.org, and recently has been in a book that made #1 at Amazon in Civics Kindle, briefly, Open Power: Electoral Reform Act of 2015 - Open Source Activist Tool-Kit. The home page tiny url /OpenPower has been blocked for reasons beyond my comprehension, further confirming my view that Wikipedia suffers from too many abusers.

Can you give some reliable source coverage of the campaign/proposals? Bondegezou (talk) 21:51, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Electoral reform in Canada

A page on electoral reform in Canada now exists. Is this the right name or should it be "Canadian electoral reform", "U.S. electoral reform", etc.? Please pick one!

Electoral reform in New Zealand is in the same format. --LeftyG 09:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure who wrote the section on electoral reform in Canada, but it was riddled with factual inaccuracies and a few spelling errors to boot. 1. The Liberals did not promise to implement Instant Runoff Voting, they promised to investigate numerous electoral reform options (including IRV and proportional systems) 2. The author's claim that the all-party committee will not arrive at consensus, describing moves towards Instant Runoff Voting at the municipal level as "more hopeful," and the comparison between Fair Vote Canada (a well known electoral reform NGO) and "CoVote" (whatever that is) indicate clear and unacceptable bias.

I too have a bias in this debate (towards proportional representation), but Wikipedia articles should never be skewed so blatantly. As such, I rewrote the entire section and unlike the last author provided sources. Chris-Gilmore77 (talk) 10:14, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
